Fruit Cake Tree, '63

The recipe title says it all, really. This is your grandmother's favorite pastry gone topiary. Into it? Because we've got a Shrimp Tree, too (we'll save that for another time). But go gentle aroundthe Christmas table, y'all- this confectionary sapling is held together by nothing more than our good friend gravity, a single hope, and one tiny prayer.
